With technology growing as fast as it has, people have been able to get their daily news through the internet rather than reading it in the newspaper.

What makes the internet better than a newspaper is the fact that online article can be updated at any time during a day. if a story breaks, you don’t have to wait until the next morning to get the news as you do with a newspaper. Most people nowadays are impatient and don’t want to wait a whole day to read about the breaking news that happened yesterday. They would rather know right away.

If I want to read the Boston Globe, I used to have to have it sent to me as a special delivery or go to Boston to get it. Now, everyone has a website and the articles are available on the internet. You can read any newspaper from any city in the United States. This wasn’t available before the internet. The more people use the internet the less they need newspapers or magazines.

Print journalism isn’t going to die anytime soon but the readership will slowly deteriorate. I may not be alive to see the newspaper industry dead but I may be around to see it on life support.
